This was fun! I managed to include the daily prompt too. If you’re adventurous (or want to put yourself through torture) you can write a double acrostic with a hidden message at the start and end of each line. I tried both. I think the first one worked out ok, but the double acrostic was poor. I’ve put double here too though so that you can see what it’s meant to achieve. Double acrostics were difficult for me. I’m on holiday again, so I was also under some time pressure to get them completed.

Now the (poor) double acrostic. I might have been a bit ambitious here:

You’re welcome. That’s probably how a lot writers feel, I certainly do — not feeling happy yet feeling the need to communicate something. I disagree about the double acrostic however, it was great and made me feel like trying my own!

Holy cow! And I thought Anaphora was hard! This seems especially difficult! Well done! (Also, you might have noticed this already, but I am catching up on my blog reading from the last week. It was a pretty stressful week at work – budget cuts at the university and then poor coping skills by some of my colleagues… they need to blog! At any rate, I apologize for all of the comments in one day. I missed reading your blog this past week, so I’m glad to be spending a Sunday morning reading through all of your recent poems.) 🙂

I would so much rather dedicate time to reading writing from writers! Always worth the time investment! 🙂 Word drama always involves people and usually ones with cruddy coping skills. Yet another meeting today, but I’m not letting it take any more energy out of me! 🙂 Thanks for the thoughts. 🙂
